Hey, Pardon my Take listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music on today's Pardon My Take. We have recurring guest and I think maybe our best friend now, Josh Duhamel, he has a new show out or coming out, called Buddies. And we get into the story of him just being like the best friend to all his best friends, and I think he's now our best friend.
Great interview with him. And we have Mount Rushmore of Manly, things we wish we could do. The Washington Commanders officially have a new owner. We're going to talk some Open Championship and then we have Firefest of the week.
Pardon, my take is sponsored by ADT. ADT knows a lot can happen in a second. One second you're happily single, and the next second you catch a glimpse of someone and you don't want to be. One.

Boy.
Boy.
Now in the street, there is violence and there's lots of work to be done.
No place to hang out or wash in, and I can't blame all on the sun. Oh, no.
We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher.
Oh, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue. It's, pardon, my take, presented by Marshall Sports.
Welcome to Pardon my take. Today is Friday, July 21st, and for the last time on Pardon My Take, we will utter Dan Snyder's name Pft. Your team is officially free. You have a new owner. Congratulations.
JOSH HARRiS Thank you Hank, thank you very much for finally congratulating me. I actually, I found the news out today because Hank texted the group chat. Congrats. Yep, and I saw that, and I was like, What is Hank congratulating me for?
And I looked it up, the deal was done. The witch is dead. Fuck you, we won, Dan.
The fans won You're out, bye bitch, see you later. I feel a lot of emotions today.
I'm happy, I'm still angry at the man, I don't think that we should ever say his name again. He's paying a 60 million dollar fine on his way out the door. That was the price for his indiscretions.
60 million dollars for fraud and for sexual harassment, which hilariously reduces the value of the team to 5.
9 billion dollars, so that'll teach him a lesson. Yep, he only made 5.1 billion dollars profit off this sale, so owners will think twice before fooling around with the books.
It was a funny day, they were having their big league meeting up in Minnesota. Jerry Jones showed up and he looked like a geriatric top gun pilot, saying that he was looking forward to going out to D..C. To administer some capital punishment. I think Jerry actually thought that he was going to kill Dan Snyder today.
I think that, in his mind, Jerry Jones saw it like the meeting in Goodfellas, where they were supposed to make somebody. Snyder steps in the door, boom, shoot him in the back of the head, so I was happy to see Jerry happy in that regard. I've got a couple of Dan Snyder facts here. Can I run through some of the greatest hits of the Dan Snyder era? And then we'll be done talking about this bitch for forever.
Yes.
Please, we are we. By the way, we all congratulate you, minus one person, but I think that person's a little upset because they got their owner stolen today. Because if you read Josh Harris's you know, opening memo to the Washington community, he was like, This is going to be my main focus.
I'm going to bring a Super Bowl to the Washington, you know, fans, the best fans in the world. He grew up a fan of the team. Yeah, so you know that that's his biggest priority, it's going to be.
Everything else is on the back burner, I think, is exactly what he said. He's, like all the other teams that I own, don't know which ones they even are anymore.
Joel Who? Yeah, who's the guy that I got to take care of in Philly? I forget? No, I don't care.
About him, I don't care about him more. He's got us in the right direction. Max did not congratulate PFT. He was the only one.
That's fine. Well, we congratulate him. A million losers. Yeah, no, we have, we have, we've done a lot of, we've, we've. How many we? We popped? We literally popped champagne in December for this, yeah.
You came over to my desk in December and we popped champagne because of dance. Someone gets proposed, you congratulate him.
Then you do the party beforehand, then you do the wedding, like, it's all, it's all one.
One, congratulations. Yeah, yeah, PFT is basically like, Uh, you know, instead of birthday month, he had, uh. Own ownings are owner selling a team year.
Yeah, and it's a good year, it's the best.
Season that we've had in in the last 30 years of being a fan of this team. All right, give us the facts, some fun facts, okay? Dan Snyder, in his ownership tenure for the Washington Redskins Commanders football team, had an equal number of playoff wins, team name changes and bots.
Sean Taylor Days two for both of them. Uh, he had more team names than first team all pros in the entire 24 years. He had two all pros, two First Team All pros. One was this year a special teams guy, Jeremy Reeves. Not a knock against that, but like, if that's one of your all pro guys, that's like, that's one of them.
The other was was a guard. Was Brendan? Sure, so besides that, we had no all pro players first team for the last 24 years. Uh, we had a DEA and FBI raid that nobody talks about from three years ago, where they raided our team's medical facility. Kind of shut up about that for awhile. Um, our best player of that era, Trent Williams, left the team because Dan stopped negotiating with him after he got scalp surgery because the team doctors misdiagnosed cancer on his scalp.
And then Dan said, We're not going to pay him a dime. We had to trade him for basically nothing. To the 49ers, where now he plays, excels, as Greg Kittle said the other day, he might be the best player in the NFL. Um, the stadium rained shit on fans, it literally leaked shit onto fans multiple times.
The stadium also fell apart and almost killed Jalen Hurts. He sued grandmothers who couldn't pay their season ticket bill because they lost all their money in the 2008 2009 financial crisis. Well, that wasn't his fault. We don't know that, I'm sure he had a hand.
His grandmother's got to pay. I'm sure Dan Snyder had a hand in ruining the economy, trust me, yeah, he definitely did, I know Dan, that had his fingerprints all over.
Uh, they installed a hooters at Fedex Field, which rocks, and then they named it after RFK. Because they couldn't name a stadium after him. So they said, we'll do the next best thing, we'll name a hooters after him inside our new stadium.
Well, I mean, if we know the Kennedy's, he probably in afterlife was like, That is the.
Most tremendous honor of all time. Yeah, just don't don't put a pool in there for people to take their dates to like the Jaguars, that would be a bad idea, yeah.
Or Volkswagen might end up in there. Yeah, uh, they never won 11 games, never happened, he never won 11 games.
He maxed out at 10. I think twice, maybe. Every other team in the N.F.L. has had an 11 win season since at least 2008, and the Washington franchise's last 11 win season was 1991. Pretty bad.
Yeah, pretty bad, and maybe the worst transgression. He signed Will Compton, so that that'll tell you something about his talent evaluation right there. And there was a story that came out today where Jay Gruden said what everybody always knew, which was. Dan Snyder would make all the free agency decisions, all the draft picks, just based on on vibes. Just going off of like games that he had seen on TV occasionally.
Or, if you want a new quarterback, he would come and say, Hey, I know you have a whole team of scouts whose job it is to watch tape. I just really want a new toy. So can we?
Get a quarterback, okay, so that only that one, cause I saw that Jay Gruden quote. I actually don't think it was that bad because I would do the same thing if I owned a team. I'm just being honest.
I'm not being, I don't want to be a hypocrite. If I were, if I owned a team, I'd be like, you know, they'd have a draft board. I'd be like, No. That guy lost me money in a College Bowl game. That guy like, Yeah, he's pretty sick. And I would, I would definitely put my foot down and be like, I want that guy.
Like, I watched him once and it was awesome. You might do that for.
10 years. But then you probably, you might learn your lesson. And Jay Gruden was saying that the owner of the Bengals used to do that. Except the owner of the Bengals would sit in on scout meetings. And actually, like, watch tape with the rest of the guys. And they'd say, Yeah, I still tell you what. I still want that quarterback, so let's draft him.
Yeah, so Jay was like.
I respected that at least. Yeah, that would maybe be. I would maybe try to at least learn a little bit of something before I started throwing my weight around in the in the pre-draft meetings. But I, I just know that like, that's one that I think you probably would be the same way, I think everyone here would be the same way. That if you owned a team, you would definitely be like, No, it's my team, I'm making the decision.
This guy's cool, let's.
Trap them. Yep, yeah, I definitely would have that that itch of, like a fantasy football owner.
Where it's like, I like, this guy, have you seen a spiral? Yeah, right, yeah, exactly.
Let's see what else they gave Albert Haynes worth a hundred million dollars. And all he did was fail conditioning tests, and then he took a nap on Monday night. Football in the middle of a play.
He started getting speeding tickets left and right. And he basically quit playing football so that he could drink at the bar and tell friends how cool his boat was. That was, that was Albert Haynes worth the rest of his career? Basically? He Dan Snyder also saw the oversaw the worst playing field maybe in the history of American sports at Fedex Field.
Didn't do anything to change it, a few fun leg injuries that occurred on that field that was not changed. R.G. three ruined him, chase young Alex Smith almost almost killed.
Alex Smith, Joe Burrow, Adrian Peterson, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Kyle Allen, just just a few names right off the top there, really, the list goes on and on and on. I could say a whole bunch more things about the man that I've probably already said ad nauseam for the last seven years. But I'm glad that he's gone, he's gone.
He can't hurt me anymore. I'm excited by Bitch and major. Shout out to Jim Irsay, cause who would have ever thought that Jim Irsay would have been the one that got this ball rolling? When he sat in the golf cart smoking a cigarette outside the owner's meeting, saying, I think the time has come to do something about Dan Snyder. And at the time, we discussed it. Big Cat. Do you remember the conversation that we had where I said I would become a Colts fan and a Colts season ticket holder?
If this made Dan Snyder, sell the team.
I vaguely remember that, and I'm going to say right now that you don't have to do that. Based on the Colts new uniforms today, when everyone is releasing like the coolest new uniforms. And then the colts were like, Hey, what if we just were Duke football and it was? It's hard to fuck up a uniform release.
The Colts did it, so I'm going to give you an out.
Just based on that, well, it's too late because I already bought Colts season ticket. Oh, nice, I'm going to be giving them away to youngsters or just really anybody that I feel like.
Oh, how much did that cost? Uh, 1200 bucks. Okay, oh, that's pretty cheap, yeah.
Pretty.
Reasonable? I mean, I didn't get great seats, I wasn't going to get a match for that, I wasn't going to get fantasy seats, yeah.
You want a match? Yeah, I'll match, fuck it, okay?
So now Big Cat and I will be giving away Colts tickets. Every home game this year. I guess we're going to be at the Richardson fans too. Was it just game time? I'll do it right now. Yeah. It was 1250 for season tickets.
So I, I picked those up. You got to figure out a way to give them away. During the season, though. People need to submit something to us. I would like to send youngsters, though.
I just like having, I just like saying, I send a youngster to a game. We also should, I mean.
Jake's going to have to do this, I don't want to, I don't want to be in charge of actually having.
To give away any of these tickets? What if we did? what if we did? A gym? Or say, lookalike contest? Get dressed up in your in in like a gym, or say, outfit and the best ones, baby or say.
There'll be baby or say, seats. Yeah, well, all right, okay, I'm going to, I'm going to buy. I mean, they are the ugliest uniforms.
Did you guys see those? I saw those, I didn't.
I didn't necessarily hate the black helmets, but they don't look like colts uniforms.
It's just so hard to like. Basically. Teams now just released new variations of their jersey throwbacks, which the Seahawks, that one rules. Uh, I saw the Browns did white helmets. They basically can release anything and every. It will be like instant 2000 quote tweets, just fire emoji. And then I saw the colts and I was like, Well, I guess you tried? I mean, good, try, guys.
But now I'm a cold season ticket holder, I'm going to do it right now.
They kind of look like, what section did you get? Uh, let me look it up, cause I'm going to get the same section. Well, I don't know that you can get.
A pair of seats that were kind of by themselves was in the corner of the end zone. Oh, they're not in the corner of the end zone, but they're not good seats. Okay, kind of in the corner of the end zone, yeah.
Yeah, um, we're in section six 18. okay, great, I'm going to get six 18 as well.
So we'll just be giving away six 18 every single time, six 18 to six 18 crew. Yeah, yeah, exactly two, two lucky for lucky fans going to Colts Games.
How do we want to select each week, like, do I just pick? or do we want them? I think people should have to pay us face value, at least.
I don't know we'll figure out some way to determine who to give away. So I'm sure that we have a lot of listeners in Indianapolis. That I'd ideally like to give it to people that wouldn't be able to go see the games, otherwise, we've got to go off, they have a Monday night.
Game.
There's two TBD games at the end of the season, but everything else is.
The early slate. You have to predict whether or not the roof is going to be open, and then when, when Mr. Ursa makes his decision about the roof being closed or not. We'll pick somebody who had the correct answer to that.
This is going to be great. I'm doing it right now, I'm literally right now, yeah, 1250..
Yeah.
You can just log on. They got plenty of good seats still available, also some bad ones.
Yeah, congrats to whoever's going to get to sit in our four seats. Every single game. We can do lottery ball, yeah.
Well, there's a lot of shit we could do, and when I say we, it is you Jake, right?
I'm going to try, I'm going to buy these tickets and transfer them all to you right now and you're going to have to do it. But that's fine. Bottom line is, I want.
To give jim jim or say a big smooch. Yeah, I just. I just want to kiss his face. I just want to grab his cheeks and just plant one right on that, right on that mug of his. Thank you.
Thank you sir. Yeah, he's a hero. Hey PMT listeners, this is PFT here, reminding you to pour the roar with proper number 12 Irish whiskey and proper Irish apple. Straight from the heart of Dublin's district.
12 Original Proper Number 12 is a rich and smooth blend of golden grain and single malt, aged four years in bourbon barrels. Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger. If you're looking for something different, try Proper Irish Apple Delicious blend of Propers award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp and fresh notes of Irish apple, Proper Number 12 Irish Whiskey and Proper 12 Irish Apple. Two refreshing ways to pour the roar.
Anything else just wouldn't be proper. Um, okay, other things with the Open Championship, that course, that course is awesome. I don't know if you guys tuned in, but, uh, pot bunkers, weird fucking, just like the rough is. Wyndham Clark had one of the most unathletic swings I've ever seen in my life.
I just love a course that makes everyone look at moments like they're us out there, and there were moments like that. It, uh, Tony Finau had to putt backwards out of a bunker, uh, just to get a better lie, like, I'm bravo, good job.
Uh, what is it, Royal Liverpool?
You've done it, yeah. John Rom had to chip backwards out of a bunker at 1.2. That swing by Wyndham Clark was one of the all-time great clips of golf, too, cause the ball was buried.
First of all, I don't know how these guys find their balls. Sometimes they're just buried in that deep, deep fescue shit, you can't even see it. He picked up his leg like he was an ice player, hitting a slap shot, and his club goes right underneath it.
The ball goes to the side about three yards. And then if I were so, credit to Wyndham Clark. Cause if I were in that position, I hit a shot like that, I would just step right over to the ball and hit it again. Yeah, next, next swing.
But you have to, you have to be better than that. And, like, calm yourself down, take another practice shot and approach the shot the same way. Fuck that. I'm just going up to it, I'm just hitting until the ball gets out of that.
Yeah, just getting.
Angry and smashing it. Uh, we had Justin Thomas, who we like, who's a recurring guest. Uh, he went bunker to bunker. That was a tough one, I think. What do you end up getting on that last hole?
It was like a nine nine, brutal. So, yeah, the course is kicking ass and our guy Max is looking good. He's got a. He wrote on his, uh, golf glove, uh, NFG, which? Afterwards, he was asked about it, and he said he can't say it because it's a bad word, so I'm assuming it's no.
Not a racial slur, No, not a really racial slur. But he is, uh, yeah, like whatever works works, if he has to write that on his cleats, great.
I don't care, so Max look good, Brooks look good. We're going to have ourselves a nice Open Championship, yeah.
It's a nice leaderboard.
Already, and it's. It's a cool open leaderboard because you've got some players from countries that you usually don't see on the on the leaderboard of a masters. The guy that's tied for the lead right now, it's like, Emilio, right? Emiliano, from Argentina.
And there's an amateur.
Who's tied for the leader? Who's like six, eight? I don't know how he plays golf, I was reading about it. I think they they made a rule about how long the drivers can be.
So if you watch him drive, he has to, like, kind of dip down and almost bet like he. He looks like a, uh, he's swinging with baby clubs. He also had one where he was in the bunker and he had his leg up and he just has the longest legs ever. But yeah, it's a it's a fun mix of, like, weird names and big names. And yeah, I'm this course. Hopefully it gets even harder because I just love the course. The court. Like watching guys have to hit out of bunkers and just be fucked because they, you know, hit a perfect shot and then just rolled into the bunker. 200 yards down down the fairway.
Like?
It's, it's beautiful, yeah, there was. Maybe. The highlight of the day was Victor Hovland, so the course showed up big time, but the course also had some assistance from the wildlife.
Yes, a bird flew right over his head and took a shit on his arm as he's about to take a shot. And he takes a step back and he just goes, I got, I got shat on, I got shat on by a bird.
Yeah, and he shouldn't have wiped it off. It's good luck. Yep, we also had a people bitching about the NBC coverage.
Uh, you know that you're in trouble. When Hugh freezes is the first to chime in. He was upset about the commercials. I had that, too. I like four different streaming apps at once and it was hard to follow.
I don't know how they, I just don't understand how golf coverage can still be so difficult to follow. To watch, it just makes no sense to me. Not next week, next week, Barstool.tv, it'll be great.
The plug God, the plug God, I love it, plug in our plug in our company.
We can say that when they do the.
Picture and picture commercials. Like, I don't think they realize that. It's a golf ball, and when it's basically on half the screen, you can't see the ball, so it's basically useless. Yeah, like they try and do the playing through thing and you just can't see anything, that's.
Going on, there was a moment I was watching, Uh, on the Peacock app, and Trey Wingo was in studio and they were talking. And as they were talking on a like small screen behind them, Rory missed that putt from like five feet, that that came backwards at them. Uh, and I was like, how's, how's it possible that we didn't get to see this? So I someone's got to be able to figure out golf coverage.
Maybe it's Jake Marsh, maybe he will save us. I've got an.
Idea Here's how you fix on the On 18. Yeah, oh, what do you do? His caddy was standing directly behind him. Uh, too close to when he hit a shot. And they didn't, and they give him a penalty when he was in the bunker.
Wait, you're not allowed to do that. No, I'll send you the. I mean, it's. It's obviously like super Golf hardos, but it's it is a rule. And once again, it's just Rory, so they let him get away with it, damn.
Interesting fuck. I was just going to say, the way to fix golf coverage, it's pretty easy, you just show every fucking shot.
Yeah, yeah, and just show every shot and then have like a sponsor, have like a Rolex logo in the bottom.
Right-hand corner. Yeah, yeah. Now in the weekend, you don't care what. The 57th place guy is shooting on the eighth hole, No, but the first round you need to see every shot.
First round, there was a.
Shitload of shots, it just didn't, and then on the weekend, Jake, it's simple, you show every shot.
From the top, like 10 guys do a good job with that when they just like, lock in on the leaders.
I just want to give more credit to the golf cameraman again. I think that's probably the.
Hardest job in sports? Also, we had a very cool leaderboard wrinkle. If you look at it right now, it has, uh, Jordan and then speed right underneath it, so Matthew Jordan, who is, I think from Liverpool? uh, and then Jordan speed is right under it. That it just looked like he was listed twice and kind of, kind of rocked.
He's the club champ. This is, that's a really, that's a really like, boring thing for me to say out loud. But I did see it and was like, This is cool, that's really lame. Now that I'm saying it like that, I got pumped up for that, but um, I did, I saw it.
I was like, Whoa, his name's twice, what's? It's the same. Like the, uh, the leaderboard where it says Scott Van Pelt, when it was Adam Scott and then Bo Van Pelt, yeah.
Isn't that his Twitter?
Banner picture. I think, so, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Either way, good job, I'm looking at this.
This tweet that you just sent over here, the, uh, the allowed and not allowed, you can't tell shit. From that angle, his caddy might be off to the side.
Oh wow, they really got into this. Jesus Christ. I didn't even know this was a rule.
I'm looking at the shadows. Oh my god. Oh, I see why Hank is is on board of this because it's it was promoted by live golf enthusiasts. Well, no, I'm, I bet a lot of money, I bet a lot of money on Rory to miss the cut.
So he goes in the book and I was like, Oh my God, this is happening, this is happening, this is happening. And he somehow saved par, and then it comes out, he cheated.
So it's like, you know, I don't want to win like that, Hank, I want to win, well, I don't want him to hit the second bunker. Shot out like I, that was a crazy shot, crazy putt.
I think you want him to be DQ. I think you should, you should get stroked, there was.
He should get stroked. There was also that moment where it looked like he was going to shoot a shot with the ball right up against the bunker. And just try to get out just straight out. And then the crowd erupted. I would absolutely let the crowd dictate it, cause it was. It was one of those moments, like, Should I do it?
Should I go full send here? And the crowd was like, Yeah, fucking do it, I would just be like, fuck it, and I would just be stuck in that bunker.
Right now, I know it's anti-golf etiquette, but like I it, it is fun rooting. That's the only person, I bet, to miss the cut. So when this is happening, I was like, let's go, let's like, it's, it's fun.
It's kind of fun to root for bad shots, obviously when they're great golfers. It doesn't really happen. But when that happened, I was like, This is all, this is all happening.
But, uh, Liverpool, the Beatles.
Go on, they're from there, no way. Yeah, yeah.
I don't know if you saw during the broadcast.
I knew they were from London, I didn't know what part of the city.
It was I, I, maybe I just caught every time they came back from from a commercial break, but it was every single time. They're like, look at this, John. There was one story they were.
Walk by this golf course. And, uh, like he, you know, his initial songs that he, you know, wrote for the Beatles were probably dancing in his head as he walked by. This golf, we're like, John Lennon, pretty sure, grew up pretty poor, probably was like, fuck this, fuck this golf.
Course But yeah, why not? let's just probably got high on that golf course, yeah.
Yeah, it probably did so, probably took some acid on the 17th green. Yeah, yeah.
The Beatles.
The Beatles, Um, all right, what else we got? We have a more out of northwestern, uh, the quote that, uh, went viral, which I didn't appreciate it, but it was, uh, talking about the Northwestern hazing. It was weirdo fat guys on the team doing weird fat guy shit.
Uh, brutal for fat guys everywhere, because I think everyone knows. Like, when you're like, yeah, weirdo fat guys doing weird fat guy shit, everyone's mind can be like, Oh yeah, they, they do sometimes do weird fat guy.
Shit, that's code for like, offensive line. Yeah, yeah, it's offensive lineman.
It's we, you know, it's usually dick and balls. It's something weird happening. Yeah, it sucks. It's, you know, weird. Fat guys had a bad day.
Like, if you're a weird, fat guy and you logged on Twitter today.
You're like, Fuck, this is not my day, yeah. And and the report was that the hazing apparently went back decades back to the nineties. So that, naturally, does beg the question, What did Darren Revelle know? How long has he known it for?
What did he cover up? He's been, he's, he's the first person that I think of when you say, okay, name somebody that's been actively interested in everything Northwestern sports since the Nineties. Yeah, there's one guy, and.
That's Darren Revelle. He did have a very cryptic tweet that I think is all I can guess. He, he. He said, Uh, I am thoroughly embarrassed for my profession. And oh, Billy's, Billy's frozen, uh, for this show. So I think he just tried to say something from like, two minutes ago.
If I had to guess, Billy's saying, like, low-key though, you need weird fat guy shit to make.
Your team good. It looks like he's doing the LeBron, he's gone. Billy's like, Dude. If it happened since 1990, that's not hazing.
That's tradition, yeah, like, it's a big difference.
Also, if you didn't come, it's not gay, or if it happened underwater, uh.
Billy, you're back. What were you going to say about weird fat guy shit?
Offensive linemen just have a different culture. Okay, um, so back to Ravel, he said. I'm thoroughly embarrassed for my profession. I think this is his cryptic way of being like pro hazing, which is I never thought I'd see that for Ravel.
I was very confused by Ravel's tweet because when I first saw it, I first of all I thought I missed some major news that broke. But there's nothing out there, it's just Darren Ravel tweeting his emotions out. And my first reaction was like, Either I missed something, No, I didn't miss anything. But but what is Darren Ravel's profession?
Yeah, cause as far as I know, Darren Ravel is, he's in the business of being Darren Ravel. So, sports betting and memorabilia.
Collector of tickets Yeah, I. When I saw this tweet, I was like, Has something happened to the Martin Luther King Jr. collectibles? Like, what, what? What profession is he speaking about?
Yeah, I don't, I don't know, not really a journalist anymore, right? Yeah, so I think he's talking, uh. My best guess is. He thinks that being a Northwestern graduate is his profession, and he's embarrassed for how this is being all disseminated by the media.
I don't know.
It's crazy. It's so funny, too. Because when you look at that tweet and then look at the avatar of the man that sent it. And he's saying, I'm thoroughly embarrassed for my profession. It's Ravel sitting there with what appears to be, um, seven or eight celery stalks, and he's covered a head to toe in Buffalo wing sauce, wearing goggles. So I don't know what profession is being Darren Ravel Northwestern graduate, Darren Ravel, being annoying guy, you know, online at all, yeah.
It's, it's a. It's a dark day for those of us that like to wake up at six o'clock in the morning and tweet out high definition videos of John F. Kennedy's brains being splattered all over the streets of Dallas, Texas, it was a dark day, indeed. He's on some.
Fucking emo like, Uh, drunk girl shit with this sub tweet like, I'm just going to tweet this out.
But I want the balls to say it. I'm so embarrassed for all those people out there in my line of work who just regurgitate press releases for major corporations. It's a sad day, man.
Oh, that's funny. Call me racist on this day when I when I own nine or more pieces of MLK.
Merchandise over nine, Black friends over nine, which is 10.
That's funny, that's cute, that's.
Funny, that's cute, that's cute on this day of all days to call me racist.
All right, what else do we? What else we got going on? I I did, you guys see Lane Kiffin, he looks good.
He's been in the sun a lot, I didn't see him, he had. I think it's SEC Media Day today. And there was a where a guy, uh, said that he gets, oftentimes gets, uh, confused for a kiffin, and Lane Kiffin was like, I gotta, what's your mom's name?
Like, I got to ask my dad some questions. A very funny like back and forth, but I just saw it and Lane Kiffin. Like, he's, he's living his best life. He's tan as like leathery skin tan, just looking like he's just getting nil deals done left and right, ready to win.
I don't know eight or nine games, which is good enough at Ole Miss, so good.
For lane cruising, the beaches with Cocho, Yeah, risen up all the ladies, Cocho's just risen up everyone, Cocho, cocho. Riz dust up before riz was even a thing.
He Cocho doesn't even have to Riz.
It just kind of when he opens his mouth, Riz comes out, you know? yeah, he, he oozes Riz. Yeah, it's yeah.
It's, it's. It's a little bit of like oil that he puts on to protect himself from Ray Baker and then just rubs it back in. With the riz. Here's how strong Cocho's Riz game is.
He literally riz up the sun. Yeah, he made it, he made the sun his best friend, he did.
H.e.
Fucked the sun. Yeah, Ray Baker, All right, anything else.
Anything else? So we did tape our Mount Rushmore when we were all together in North Carolina. Jake and Billy. So this is going to be obviously a little out of order, but we thought it was more important to have Mount Rushmore's. When we're all together, we will be back all together for Grit week. But Jake and Billy, how are the vibes on your team? Did you have any discussion afterwards about what took place? how you feeling?
Everything we're good, it's onto the next one, we. Billy takes responsibility for his actions, I think, based off the poll, why? why does it work for his actions?
Okay, I haven't heard that you're going to go Billy? No, we were, you're allowed to speak, now we were.
A bow. We were a bow versus a barry away from winning, like, we came second, very close to you guys. I still stand by my cap.
I still stand by my McCaffrey pick. I think that actually helped us.
You don't think that helped us? I disagree, but it doesn't matter.
No, no, no, wait, wait, wait. You don't think the McCaffrey pick helped us?
No, I think the McCaffrey pick actually helped us.
So when you said Billy takes responsibility for his actions, what did you mean by that? Jake for screwing up two of the four picks? But Billy didn't. Billy doesn't think that's the case. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
McCaffrey was actually the right move. Jake's putting words in your mouth. McCaffrey was the right move. Also, Jake said that Billy took responsibility for his actions, but Jake didn't address the fact that he didn't get the sheet up. Yeah.
Okay, well, that's a lie. What about your actions? Bow versus Barry? I totally take if we had Barry Sanders. Wait, fuck.
No, no, if we had Barry Sanders, we would have won. Yeah, that's the fact.
McCaffrey actually helped us. We may have won with Marshall Fox. Okay, so it sounds like you guys are not on the same page, yeah.
We're not on the same page. No, I thought it was over when, uh, that that, by the way, that Mount Rushmore was such a cheat code for engagement. Because whenever you have, like, uh, you know, 12 picks of, uh, an entire history of a position, everyone's just going to respond with their personal favorite running back. I think I even saw a, Uh, how do you guys not even mention Steven Jackson?
I was like, Well, I don't think he's a Mount Rushmore running back, he was good, but like, it's. It's my favorite type of cause. It is everyone's personal fandom comes out, which I respect the hell out of. But, uh, it is just such a cheat code. Because when you have such a finite amount of picks, of course, there's going to be huge misses like Billy and Jake missing Marshall Fox.
We can also do a Mount Rushmore pretty good. Marshall Fox was not a mix, no one gives a.
Fuck about Marshall Fox, I'm sorry.
No one gives a fuck, that's wrong. Billy Marshall.
Fox was really fucking good. No, yeah, Billy. I think. Marshall Fox is the only player in NFL history to have three rushing touchdowns in the same game and also have a game where he had 200.
Yards receiving. Yeah, he was, he was like the first of a new generation of like game changers.
Also, I apologize for saying wasn't good enough to be good enough for the old people.
Guys, I apologize for saying that Billy took responsibility for his actions because I must have misread the tweet. We were a boat versus Barry from winning today. I take full responsibility at PMT Sports Biz.
So I guess that's on me, I, I. I saw that, he said. Christian McCaffrey got a second place, but and then I'd mentioned it on here and he's, he freaks out, but he said publicly.
Responsibility. Well, that's his. Billy Hot takes account. That's not I take full.
Oh, right, right, it's in his, it's in the Christian name, it's a hot take.
You said you take full responsibility.
Oh, Billy, I'm just curious, Billy, I'm just curious, from your perspective, what percentage? Do you think the responsibility lies with Jake on that for not having a cheat?
No, no, I mean, I think the audible to McCaffrey actually, like, saved us points. I think we had been in third place. We picked Marshall fall, right?
But my my question was, is it like 5 10, Jake not having the sheet?
I mean, he didn't have the sheet up we usually.
Have points at it, yeah, go subscribe to the YouTube and you can see our eyes. Uh, Marshall Falk, by the way, is number one. Have the tape, yeah.
Go to the YouTube. Marshall Falk is number one all time receiving yards for running back in 12 all time, uh, rushing yards. That's pretty fucking good, it's pretty good, yeah.
That's.
Pretty goddamn good, yeah, but his name gets overshadowed by, like, so much better players, like, Yeah, he was good. But like, if you throw a Christian McCaffrey in there, that's more of a.
Spike for like modern fans. I mean, Chris McCaffrey could end up having a career better than Marshall Falk, but right now he is not better than Marshall. Not yet, not yet does.
Anyone remember Johnny Unitas? They do, but like, not as a great. I think a lot of people say, Yeah, he's just there. Yeah, he's. He's definitely remembered as a great. He's so 100 remembered as a great.
Joe Namath Billy Yeah, but like, yeah.
Joe Namath had more interceptions. Well, he beat Johnny Unitas, then, Who the fuck's Johnny Unitas? This is football history with Billy Football we should make, we should remake NFL.
Like, remember the UM when they had drunk history? We should remake N.F.L. films with Billy Football. And it's just Johnny Unitas throwing interceptions like this guy wasn't like, who the fuck remembers him actually doing a drunk history of of certain?
Memories that you have in the NFL, like certain games, or like certain players that would actually.
Yeah, there's also a visual evidence of Billy staring at my computer before the pick was made.
Oh, wow, he's going in. Because I was looking for, I was looking for the name, and I was trying to. I was trying to find where on the sheet, where it was. I was like, Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, uh, Bo Jackson, yeah.
It is also very funny that Billy's trying to lecture us on, uh, on the history of the greatest N.F.L. running backs of all time. But he's a person that doesn't know the difference between Bo Jackson and Barry Sands. That's a very good point, that's a very good.
Point, we're on to the next, we got points on the board. It does not sound like you guys, we're going to, we're going to win.
You took full responsibility, what happens?
When you win Mount Rushmore, what do you get? Cause that's what we're getting, okay?
All right.
You know what? Let's do the Mount Rushmore first, let's do Mount Rushmore, then we'll do Josh Jumo, because this is a perfect preview for Mount Rushmore.

Had okay, Mount Rushmore time, Uh, we are doing the Mount Rushmore of manly traits we wish we had. This is going to be tough for Billy.
Cause I know that he saw this topic and was like.
You call me a beta, No? Billy had a hard time thinking of responses because he's like, well.
I can already do all this. Yeah, yeah, so, uh, it will be a little emasculating, but guess what? Make fun of ourselves, boys.
We should be able to, uh, poke fun of our own weaknesses, so these are Mount Rushmore of manly traits we wish we had. Hank and Max are up, first me and Pft, second Jake and Billy, third Hank and Max.
Good luck, good luck. hey, good luck. hey, let's have a good luck, everybody.
Let's have a good one, let's not talk over each other. No denigrating picks. If you are going to denigrate a pick, just say I'm not denigrating the pick, but if I were to denigrate the pick, here's how I like that. That's just decorum.
All right, the one one.
Manly traits that I wish I had.
Yeah, I mean, it's also it's basically just like things that people in the fifties could do more or less that which. So our first one is just an everyday handy man. Okay, being able to hang stuff, being able to, you know, that's good.
Yeah, do stuff around the house, fix things. your toilet's broken. Oh, I can fix that. Oh, I gotta, I gotta hang this.
I gotta build something. Yeah, I have a. I have a sweet set of tools that you take on airplane flights. have, you guys have the tools. It's just like, I'm not really that capable.
We're not.
Anymore, have you guys seen, have you guys seen the like Twitter accounts that are now getting like popular? Where it's like back when men were men, and it's like a picture of an eight year old being in the West Virginia coal mines. It's like, this is when, like when people died, when they were 15, like, wish we could go back then, back when men were men. It's a picture of like, a.
Or they'll just be like, it will be like a guy, like holding up a big, uh, deer that he killed. And then the next picture will be like Pride parade, and they'll be like, we've lost our way.
Way back when, men were men and it's the Dofam Prince of France. I love those like, Yeah.
I really wish I could go back to when a middle age was, like, 22 years old. Uh, okay, good pick. thank you, good pick.
Pretty good pick. Um, all right, I think we should go with our one one. Yeah, right off the bat. Uh, being able to fix a car, so engine, I mean, I know how to change a tire, but like, if you don't, that's something. But I have no idea how to do anything with the engine. Like, there's nothing manlier than like, steam coming out of your car, popping up the top and being like, Oh, I just got to fix this.
And then we're good to go back on the road you got.
A bandana in your pocket that you pull out, wipe your grease off your hands with it. Yeah, just knowing, knowing about cars, being a car guy. take a look under the hood. yeah, your neighbor's car.
Let me get a seat, you know what, you got to get an Allen wrench. I can fix this in two seconds. Oh, if you fix another man's car, you get to fuck his wife.
Also also, that's a fact also imagine, like, I sometimes daydream about, like when I take my car to the shop and then they tell me everything. That's wrong with it. If I knew anything about it and I can be like, Actually, you're wrong.
And being like, how about we cut that price in half? I know cars, cars are too digitized nowadays.
Back when men were men, yeah, back when cars were analog. yeah, back when cars.
If you got in a car accident, you died every time. That's when men were men. No, like, there's, too.
Much automation and it's like, hard to actually do it. Yeah, I want to be able to kill myself on the road with a car. I don't want a robot to do it, yeah.
Now if you, now if you want to fix.
A car you got to be a fuck, you got to have, like a a Computer science masters in computer science. Yeah, exactly all right, that's our one one.
We're going to go with the ability to grow facial.
Hair Yeah, oh yeah, no, I'm with you, I'm with you on that.
One good pick for both of you boys, I know, cause, uh, you know, just not there yet.
Yeah, one day maybe I actually read this crazy thing that, uh. Men developed beards because it prevented them from getting their throat slashed in combat. That's definitely true, like thing of armor.
Yeah, that's true. Like shit, the on the.
The anonymity of this one's going to be tough on anonymity. I was saying that to billy by default.
No, it could be PFt. Yeah, easily. I actually thought about putting on a list.
Yeah, did I say that? Did I say that word? right? yeah.
Yeah, also also if you have like a really.
Weird face Being able to grow facial hair over all of it is a good cover up in case. Like, have you ever seen somebody that normally has a beard that has to shave out of nowhere? And how hideous.
They look, it's gross, it's so gross, and then they have to take pictures for photo shoots. The.
Next Monday, Hank had this look on his face, like, Are you talking about me?
I actually thought.
You were talking about me, too. For a second, I was like, Wait, more context, I'm good, No.
All the young listeners grow, Beard does wonders. I'm a I'm going to go rogue on this one.
It's early, early, no wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Jake, Jake, have have you been allowing Billy to go rogue? Yeah, I like this too.
Yes, no.
Oh, save that. okay, you can save that, they can save that. This is a good decision.
No, but I don't think, bro, it's Manly, it's Manly, all right. Wait, let's hear their pick.
Grilling meat successfully. Okay, okay.
Okay, so you pick to be more manly cooking? okay, only meat. Okay, no, that's fine. yeah, barbecue.
Smoking, running the grill, yeah.
But if you weren't gonna go ahead, no, I'm not. I'm not denigrating, I was gonna denigrate it.
I would say that, you know, manliness is just eating whatever you cook as badly as it's on the grill, yeah.
Manliness is doing a Twitter thread of your pork shoulder and fucking it up so bad that everyone's like, Holy fuck Billy, what did you do? But not gonna denigrate. And I'm not talking about any specifically.
It's amazing for interaction. Yeah, no, that's good. I'm not denigrating, I just say I can't relate to that one. Yeah, I'm Mr.
Grill Master I just wish I was able to grill meat successfully. Okay, so so big cat. I think that we got a lot. Yeah, we got a lot.
I like number four, okay, we have on the list, I think we can save that. You think, so, yeah, I don't think these guys are gonna or they're not gonna do it.
Okay, so you want to go with is number two?
Can you guys, like, ever? Just like meat beforehand? That's we, we do. We have a whole list too redundant. I would say I'm playing bingo. Yeah, no, it's ridiculous. Yeah, I don't think it was a five.
Okay, number two, you guys can actually pick our next one, yeah.
Five, okay?
Okay.
Opening, opening a bottle without a can opener or a bottle opener, yeah, so whether it's like your hands, your hands doing the doing the lighter trick, your teeth, yep on the end of a.
That was you guys great.
That's pretty childlike. That's good. Look like a man has a bottle opener on his keychain for his home, That do you know? Yeah, let's see it, my bottle over.
Yeah.
That's not manly. You need a tool to open your bottles where we can do that. That's like, civilized man.
No, I I am. I control my own destiny when I have a bottle. Yeah, college like college kids do that.
They're not really, because they're not men. That's that's a great Billy Hank, just a random number, and we had a great pick. No, it's.
That's a good pick. We're gonna go with our one to make you hank, you're welcome. Uh what? Yeah, thanks.
Thanks for me, I just want us this draft. We're gonna go with heavy lifting. Okay, just working out just anything. If you know you're, you have to move something like, Hey, can you help me move this giant?
You know, Bureau, and it's like a struggle.
That's one of those ones that it's like, because we're true, we draft Mount Rushmore true to form.
Does not apply to me in 50.
Got it, I just. I just moved in an entire house on my own. That's a lie.
No, all on my own. What are you gonna say, Mac? I took a piano upstairs by myself.
Yeah, it doesn't necessarily have to do with like, moving. If, like, you're rearranging something in the house, and yeah, as the man of the house, it's like, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, can you go pick that up again?
I don't know, I don't know what I mean. How often do you have to fix your car?
Every day tune it up. No, you don't, no, you don't. Yeah, which is these new spark plug?
Yeah, just rotary diggers, checking the rotary diggers, and then our next one.
I guess you'll probably say this doesn't apply to you guys either. Is being a good fighter? Okay, just being able to, you know, look at someone, size them up.
Yeah, ours was boxing, which is more manly, but yeah, there's a lot of ways to do it. I mean, it's like, you know, you could say martial arts would be cool. So now we can take the pick that we didn't take, yeah, we can take that pick, and it's a great one.
Yeah, okay, we're gonna take woodworking skills, being able to use a saw, we had it, being able to build a neck table building.
Carpentry? Yeah, carpentry, building things with your hands, woodworking.
Basically. RON SWANSON Yeah, we. I don't know how to build anything I wish I could. It's different than fixing stuff.
It's building things, even though you need a shed.
I'll build the shed, even applying lacquer to something and then making the wood nice and shiny. Yeah, that's staining a deck, oh yeah.
State, Yeah, putting what, like burying foundation and cement, something like that, maybe repaving your driveway.
Oh, chopping down trees, building a log cabin, oh, by hand.
Abraham Lincoln Shit, that's how deep our draft is. Well, that was the pick we were gonna take. we basically we took Abraham Lincoln third, mm-hmm as a man, unbelievable fighter.
So we actually got fighting. Yeah, he's a good wrestler. Yeah, wrestle the bear, right, that's badass, all right.
Can you tell us which one's rogue before you do it? Okay, So here's our non-rogue one.
Okay.
The demographic being non-allergic to dogs, no, being being a morning person like.
No, being a morning person, men wake up like five a.
M And they can get up quickly.
This is Billy's brain just completely poisoned by the like weightlifting influencers on Instagram being like, if you wake up at 4 a.
M You basically have 28 hours in your day? yeah, three days in the day.
Like, we never wake up early. When I sleep, I actually sleep, I wake up early every day.
I sleep inside of a cold plunge. Yeah, oh wait, so you're saying I'm more manly than you? Yeah, sure, okay.
Nice.
I appreciate that. No, like, waking up early is a state of mind, too.
As someone who does wake up early, it fucking sucks.
Yeah, but like you do it, like you don't. Yeah, because I have to. Yeah, early is also that's, that's a man-ass thing, you have to wake up early, so you do.
Early is very relative to that is true, like if you go to bed late, what's early? and.
Go Rogue.
Go rogue, rogue, rogue, rogue. If I go rogue, what's your oak?
Tell me, tell me if I go rogue, the listeners have to reward me, or I won't go. Not how it works.
Pandering, tell me, tell me, your own illegal.
Is not your pick, Bill, I think, Billy said. Operating a lethal weapon system.
Shit, no, all right. Go ahead, Jake. What's your last pick? Be able to fall asleep at any time.
You know?
I'm gonna stand in and say, you guys get the rogue pick. Yeah, your pick was bad. Jake. That was really bad. Being able to fall asleep, yeah.
No bad thing, no, manly, that's a weakness, it's a dad move. yeah, it's a dad move.
Not a manly, I think that I just like, assume these are all that.
Let's just go with owning a house.
No.
What is it exactly?
Operating just knowing your way around weapons, okay, that's.
Good pick, that's like the best of those three picks, like guys.
You can know how to, like bit like, to break down their weapon and rebuild their weapon and clean it and stuff.
Like, that's like, maybe that's what we need to do for these guys. Every fourth pick, they can throw out three options, it will pick the best. No much more is the worst thing I ever am in my life, but I'm really freaking bad.
No, you're, it makes you a loser. I'm a loser. Yes, okay, well, you can blame it on, we have.
Falling asleep was Jake's.
Do things that contradict each other.
Making people.
More If I win, if we win, when we go rogue. Oh, it's like, Please, okay, okay for last pick. And manly things. Being able to fuck for longer than just like a couple minutes before coming, yes.
Yeah, that's a man shit, right? No, that's that's like high school. no shit. no, that's when you last forever. What, what?
What are you talking about, Bill? Never mind, Billy. Better stamina when you're young, you're just.
Incorrect Really. You were fucking like a porn star in high school.
No, I mean, no, yeah, last thing long in bed. Yeah man, please fuck yeah. To be able to do like multiple position.
I was a man before puberty. Yeah, and and I'm not even talking about like, fucking like a porn star, I'm talking about like, or just respectable. 10 minutes, yeah, being able to like, switch and then switch back.
Back another time, yep, like crazy, she'll have a nutted yet. Yeah, not having to say, Oh, you're just so hot. That's why I came so fast, you know, just getting that out of the repertoire.
Yes, right, yeah, yeah. Was that good for you? yeah.
At least having the girl pretend to orgasm, and it's believable.
It's essentially being like, being good enough that the girl tells her friends about you, yeah.
Can you imagine the rush that would come along with that? You found out that that your girl was like telling all her friends how good you've laid it down, like he fucked me for.
Half hour, I didn't even say an hour there, I said a half. I thought, honestly, sounds like too much work. It sounds like at least three injuries for me.
That's a groin, an ankle, and maybe, like, a back. Yeah, just give me good ten minutes. ten minutes would be fucking great. Okay, last pick for you guys.
I think we're gonna go. The historical route here doesn't apply as much anymore, but it might, it might still, depending on the circumstance. You're really couching this pick. Yeah, you're afraid. Quick draw with a gun, Oh.
Yes, wait, is that not what? BILly No, that's kind of in my operating weapon system.
They didn't have a weapon system in the 1800s. I'm talking like, it was your fucking hand. Clint Eastwood Quick draw with the gun. Yeah, it's called 45 is a weapon system by definition. That's like when you're learning how to use, though. We gave you six shots.
Yeah, it's quick draw with a gun, yeah, we said, operating multiple weapon systems. Yeah, like someone, like someone you know, starts to make a move and you shoot a bottle out of their hand. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, all right, there's a lot that we actually have on the list that we didn't get to. Tying a knot like a really good sailors, not.
Boy, Scottish, okay.
But that's still like, I don't know how to fucking take. Like, if someone hands you a rope is like, Tie this boat, I'm sure it never leaves. I couldn't do that.
Oh, here's one that I, I actually wanted to pick. But being able to whistle with two fingers, yeah, that would be the baseball game. Oh, like, every time I see someone, it's the scream whistle that I was. I have a scream whistle on. I'll show you what.
As a scream whistle.
This might you probably want to pick this but. But bartering? yeah, being a good barter and enjoying bartering, I don't. I don't get in situations where I'm like, maybe I could have negotiated, but I just didn't want to. I love awkward, I love negotiating, yeah, but guys that will just walk up and just barter, everything like that.
Yeah, everything's on the table. Yeah, yeah. I was buying a car the other week and I put down my Costco Black card on the table. I was like, I just wanted. He asked me what my credit score was.
I was like, Well, this is the kind of guy you're dealing with right now. Executive membership. Yes, love that I also had.
Understanding the stock market, like really understanding it, when people are like, what's going on? You're like, here's actually like, I can understand macroeconomics, that's what my politics and news, yeah, just having a that. I also had a being able to give really good directions to understand the markets.
Yeah, like, Oh, yeah, well, this is happening because of this and that we, I know it's bullshit, but just having the answer to it is very manly. Being able to give really good directions is big time. I can't give direct. I had a woman the other day.
I was walking Stella and she was asking directions on an address that was on my block. And I still was like, I think it's right there, but I don't know. It was literally my street. I'm new here. It's like, because it's smart by her, it's like, find someone walking a dog.
They know the area did not, we had.
Man, we had a lot of ones that were left on the table, being able to drink whiskey, a shot of whiskey, and not even.
Blink at it, yeah, just like, throw it back. Also knowing the differences between Bourbons. Yeah, this is a 10-8, 10-year, this is a 20 scotch to, yeah, driving a manual car.
Yep, big one owning a house, owning a house, said that, Yeah, possible. Yeah. What, what about tying a bowtie without a video?
Kind of a manly move that one friend when you're in a wedding party like, I got you and just ties everyone, totally masculine, it's everyone else.
I was trying to think like we were talking earlier. Like the, you know, the most, the most manly men are in the army. And just like being a, like a scary slash motivational speaker. Yeah, like being able to be able to fire up a group of men. Yes, yeah, I don't. Leader of men.
Yes, yeah, yeah, having other men fear you, yeah, but also respect you, yeah, but like they, they fear you so much that they love you, yeah.
Yeah, being considered a leader of men would be awesome. Yep, historical, but conquering shit, yeah, yeah, I think it's calm, yeah, huh?
Yeah, yeah, big time.
Uh, for me personally, just being able to get something down off of a top shelf for somebody, that would be such a great move. I'm so envious that someone's like, Hey.
And you don't have to go grab like a chair to stand on, yeah.
This one, I, I know how to do it, I've done it before. But I still doubt myself. Being able to, like, confidently, be able to, like, jump a car, that one I always like, I'm always like, Am I about to fucking kill my jump-started car?
Yeah, jump-started car, Yeah, oh, I thought, that's what you guys pick. No, we're working on cars. But like, literally being able to, like, that's different than where I was in my head. Someone's car is dead jumper.
Yeah, jumper, knowing how, I know how to do it.
But I also always like, I'm about to kill myself, knowing how to field dress. Like anything you've hunted and killed. Yeah, yeah, that's good. Why just murdering animals? Got a deer?
Stalking a bear in Alaska? Yeah, killing it, and then posting on your Instagram Hell yeah.
To just go in your backyard and, you know, hunt and then cook it. Yeah, yeah, that thing is cool, no, but like, yeah, the full, full process. What about being able to spit tobacco super accurately in a straight line into, like a thing that pings in the corner?
Yeah, yeah, or just gutting tobacco, just swallowing tobacco, just being like, above average at every sport.
Yeah, manly, like just all across the board, like, could swing a great golf club, can, like, you know, juggle a soccer ball, can throw a spiral. All that bow and arrow. Accurate? Yeah, yeah, like just having that competency archery school, bow hunting.
Yeah, anything else, I think, that's it. Feel good about that. I don't feel good about your guys picks. I mean, we're not good at this, but we made people laugh.
Yes.
From Big Cat, First piece of advice You're gonna be bad. yeah, you really bad. the worst, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, picking just a wild combo of waking up early and being able to fall asleep at any time. I just didn't have a lot in the bag. You guys, what? you guys couldn't decide if you want to be narcoleptics or her insomniacs.
Natural-Alpha male. There's not a lot to improve on. It's true. Just being Jake Marsh should have been our first, yeah, being Jake Marsh in the Jake Marsh Henry Lockwood relationship, manly as it gets.
Okay, Good Mount Rushmore. Great Mount Rushmore.
That Mount Rushmore was brought to you by Chevy, that's right, summers here, what better way to take advantage of all that it has to offer than with a chevy Silverado, Silverado summer? Think of all the possibilities.
You've got off-road adventures, DIY projects, hardcore work. Silverado has the capability and the technology to make this summer your best one ever, with nine different Silverado models to choose from. And engines that range from the powerful Turbo Max 6.2 liter V8 and the Duramax diesel, you can count on chevy power and performance to get anything done. Like many of you, we've been hitting the road a lot lately, we're gonna be hitting the road a lot. For Grit Week. Seems like everywhere we go, there's an army of Silverado's and Silverado owners.
So shout out to all of you, Game recognizes, Game love. The Silverado took it across the country, had a great time. It's a great truck. Check it out at Chevy Comm.
Look at the all-new Silverado and all the Chevy trucks, they are the official trucks of. Part of my take, I was on the Chevy website the other day. Looking at what they have coming out. Not just this year, they've got great stuff out right now, stuff that people waiting for for years. Over the next year, they're dropping some heat, Chevy's on a heater right now.
Check them out Chevy Comm Check out the all-new Silverado and every other Chevy truck today. And now here's Josh Duhamel.
Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. He's a recurring guest now. He was actually when he came on the first time, it's Josh Duhamel, he's back.
That's, I mean, we. We wanted to have you back. We didn't think it'd be this soon, but we're happy that you're here. Buddy Games is the movie that is out now, you can watch it.
It came out in May, but you also have Buddy Games, the show coming out in the fall. I actually couldn't be more excited for this, I just read about it. I want to talk about all of this we're gonna get.
We'll do a little Vikings preview as well. Oh good, but let's start from the beginning. Buddy Games is your real life like this happens, so tell us that how this was created, and I have a million questions about Buddy Games through the years.
Yeah, I mean, the whole thing is based on something my buddies and I have done for the last 20.
Almost 25 years, depending on when the official date was. We actually started. We were doing some version of it since we were kids, but then it kind of became official in the early 2000s. Every third weekend of August, every single year, we get together for a weekend of.
And it is, you know, everything from golf to ping-pong to, you know, cornhole stuff like that, the basics. Then we have a we always have a really heated wiffleball tournament with the full field, the whole thing, and then we always do one game. That's just outrageous. One year it was Splattle where we we. We had to get on these paddle boards from Buoy A to Buoy B, about 50 yards apart, and you had to.
You had to paddle across from Buoy A to B in your underwear and a helmet, and the other team got to sit and shoot.
Paint balls at you. Or, you know, just stupid things like a human bowling down these hills and trying to take out as many garbage cans as you can. That's where the whole idea came from, and then we wrote a script based on that. Made the first movie. They came out in 2019 or 20, and then I did well, did the second one that just came out in May. No, we got a TV show.
So it's all been, you know, I can't even believe it. I can't believe that our stupid games now have a TV show coming out and that's awesome, it's, it's incredible.
It's like, I, I try to tell this to everyone, and I, I do a bad job of it. Like your friends, will it be high school, college, wherever you meet, like your core group of friends, finding a way to get with them? Every single year, it's so important because you get, you get to that age where the bachelor parties stop, and it's very easy to just kind of lose touch every single year.
The fact that you guys been doing this for 20 years is that's incredible. I'm very jealous.
Yeah, I mean, it's become more a reason to get together than anything. The games are kind of the backdrop, but it's really a reason to get together and see each other. Because we really have a tight group of friends and because of the games, we've stayed very close to the years and these guys look look forward to it like Christmas every year. And you know, it's funny, because, like you said, there's so many groups of people across the world who do stuff like this in some form. And and and I think that that's why the show is really gonna be relatable to a lot of people. Because if people are doing something similar to this anyway, so the show you just we have. We have groups of friends that come from all over one. One team was from Oregon, one's from California, one's from Oklahoma, one's from Philadelphia or Chicago, and in.
They all lived in it, they live in this big cabin together, so it's we're sort of got a big brother vibe. But there's three events each get each episode, where they all have to sort of fight for survival. And you know, it's not just about how athletic you are. Because most these people are mid, you know, mid 30s to 40s, some are even 50. And so you. They're sort of weekend warrior types, but they still have that competitive fire if you will.
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, it's. It's a really, really fun, funny, dramatic, emotional.
Show that I think people are gonna really love if I know anything about events like this. When you get a bunch of friends together in a competition, there's probably a shitload of cheating that goes on. Or attempted she, or bending of the rules, or like manipulation, sabotage, that sort of thing. I have to imagine the same way with you.
Yeah, I mean, sabotage, for sure, my buddy Bob. why I should play in the movies? we call him the Bob Father is the king of sabotage. And so much so that, you know, when we were developing the TV show, I was like, Okay, these guys to fuck with each other. These teams need to really like, mess with each other to try to get a leg up, and that's what you know. And CBS loved the idea of making with the first game on in in. Each episode is called the curveball, where if you win that curveball, you get to sabotage another team. And that's part of the fun. Is is constantly, you know, pulling little pranks on each other.
I mean, Bob is is is the master of that, all right. So I have a million questions about your buddy games.
Worst injury? I'd imagine there's been some injuries, because as you get older and everyone's like, Oh, I can still do this. And even like a little thing like playing wiffle ball, you play a full day, a wiffle ball with your friends. And then your arm can't, you can't move your arm for an entire like week. So what's the worst injury?
The worst was a guy that only came one year. Hip.
That's when I, that's what I knew we were getting up in age is, Oh, my god, he threw a hip. That's not supposed to happen yet. Oh, Jackson.
Yeah, he wait, was he? So he showed up one year and then he hurt his hip and then he never came back.
Yeah, it. Typically it's the same core group of guys. But that year, one of Bob's buddies that he was working with or something, he let him come play. And okay, I forget his name, but he threw a hip. Last year, Wadi, one of our best friends, threw his elbow out. Wiffle ball, Yeah, you know, we. True. As they get older, the games become a little less high octane. If you will, yeah, a lot more.
It's it's more, it's more drinking than it is competing. But yeah, I'll do the games, okay, it's gonna be like, grumpy old men.
But again, so I would rock. It's usually somebody that takes it a little bit too seriously as everybody else gets older. One guy still tries to, like, bring the noise. Maybe they bring in a ringer to be on their team. But yeah, if you, if you, if you try really hard at anything past the age of 35, you're going to get injured.
Yeah, that's the truth, that is the truth. I ruptured my achilles tendon about 20 years ago and that was kind of the beginning as I. Okay, I got to take it easy. I got a really warm up and the calf never really came back.
So I have one calf, about half the size of the other one, nobody showed me a half calf or decaf.
What is what is the winner get?
It's usually, it depends, usually it's like golf equipment. We don't really play for money as much as we do this big trophy. And you know, if you, we have an, we have an MVP, we have an LVP, something you don't want to win.
And so, yeah, these guys, you know, if you didn't know, we were best friends.
You would think we're worst enemies. Yes, that's it, that's, that's perfect friendship, you just.
We're if, like, you walk past a group of guys, you're like, are those guys about to fight? Like, No? Actually, they've known each other for 20 years. Exactly. Yeah, all right. So has anyone ever been kicked out?
Has anyone ever been not asked back? Oh, yeah, oh.
You know, like I said, there's a core, such a click, sometimes it's crazy, but we, you know, there's. There's several of us that I've known since early grade school, a couple of them from kindergarten. So there's a core group of about 12 of us who've known each other for ever.
And then there's been a couple that have come along, you know, over the EO College, then good work, friends, and you know, if they fit into the group it, they get to stay. But then a couple of guys who just were like, why the hell, who invited this dude? And so I'm not gonna say any names, but yeah, there have been a couple that have been haven't been asked back.
That would be like the biggest disappointment of my life if you got invited to Buddy Games and then you didn't get asked back.
You thought you had a great showing? Yeah, yeah, we all got along real well. It's like the invitation.
It's It's better to love than loss than never of love. No, I would have. I would never want to be invited to Buddy Games and get invited in and then be never asked back.
Oh, you two would, you two would fit in just fine, trust me. Oh, we might have. Yeah, this should be in me games.
Was that an invite you actually hate? Yeah, I'd be down to go.
Can we do a podcast of the games as we we could, we could have, like we could like.
Telecast Live Yeah, Yes, yeah, did Jake Marsh on the play-by-play?
Yes, we could absolutely do that. Yeah, I would actually love that. How do you say, is there, like, one commissioner that stuck around throughout the years?
By the bob the Bob father call him Buddy Glue. He's the guy that sort of gets it all going. It's he and I that that run it every other year.
We kind of take a year off and then the other guy takes over. We usually either do it at my cabin out in Minnesota, or we go to this year. We're going to Missoula, Montana.
Okay, so when it comes back to Minnesota, we're in. Oh, I'd love that. I'm not okay. Yeah, no, we're in.
So if it goes to Minnesota next year, we're in. I like it, like it travels around. It's like a big-time Bowl game, everyone gets a gets a spot, I.
So Bob sounds like a great dude because that's the other part of, like your entire buddy games. And what I was saying about friends getting together. You need that one friend who is very proactive and being like, we're doing this, because if you don't have that, then it all falls apart. So shout out, Bob, he needs that, he needs the shout out.
Yeah, that's the truth. If you don't have that dude, that keeps everybody in contact, everybody. You know life happens, you grow up, you get jobs, you have families, and and you know, you lose touch with your, with your buddies. And thankfully for Bob, that he's sort of kept us all tight like that.
Yeah, this is a like, significant others invited situation, families invited, or is it just the buddies?
No, we don't. we usually on on Saturdays, so it goes Thursday, Friday, Saturday usually, or is it Saturday, Sunday, Friday? I think it's.
I think Saturday is usually the last day anybody goes home on Sunday, so the big, the last big event is wiffle ball and it's really fun. It's like, it's like, you know, soft.
It's like a big softball, it looks like a softball game, only we do it in a giant field. We put a fence up and we invite spouses and parents and whoever wants to come. But, you know, the first two days before that, it's just the boys.
Yeah, oh, that's great.
It's really fun.
Yeah, it sounds like, now are you cutting in anyone from your Buddy group into the Buddy Games show? Are they getting any? are they wet in the beak?
What do you mean? Are they, are they competing in it? No, are they, are they getting a little cash production?
Bobby is a partner with me on this. I couldn't do this without him. Trust me, he would have my head, okay. And also, the truth is, he brings a lot of value because he's got great ideas for games, a lot of which CBS loved. So yeah, he's.
Uh, in fact, he was. We shot it in Columbia, Bogota, Columbia, the TV show. And he got Kovat on his. On this flight out to to Bogota and was, you know, quarantined away from the rest of us. So I, we never even got to come to set. He flew all out then and I didn't even get to see him. Other than he's like, you better not come up here.
I'm not feeling well, I think I might have Kovat. And so I went up and knocked in his door and, like, stood back about 20 feet just to say, Hey, man, are you okay? I'd left him a couple things in front of his door. Well, then I get Kovat a.
Couple days after, he leaves, and I swear to God, I wasn't near. So everybody on the production thinks that he gave me Kovat, so he, he's worried that they're never gonna let him be a part of it again because he gave me Kovat. And that, you know, we had to shut down for a few days. Yeah, I feel like I know Bob.
You should, actually, you should do the next, the next season, or I guess next year would mean Big cat come, we should do that one in Columbia too. Yeah, I feel like that would be a good video.
I feel like I know Bob because he's, he's. Like, it's not the fact that he had Kovat, it's not the fact that, like, he wouldn't be able to. He just was pissed that he probably can't be part of, like, just dudes hanging out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, he was not.
He was not happy because it was, you know, he was looking forward to coming out there and seeing it. And you know, it's a lot of flying to just sit in a hotel room for three days and fly back.
Yeah, have we figured out what the games gonna be? The wildcard game is this year?
I don't, I think he knows I. he hasn't told me yet. I'm not sure, but I'll be sure to report back.
Yeah, I'll send you some video. How's that sound? Yeah, the one that you were talking about sounds like American gladiators just on the lake.
You had to stand there in your underwear, about 25 yards away, and each team had to had to put the helmet on and underwear again. And you got to sit. They got to stand there, just have to stand there. And and and you hear that when you hear the of the paintball gun. If you flinched at all, you lose points.
And so it's like, literally standing there in front of a firing squad, having to take this. But it's the the visual of these dudes who, you know, we're almost 50 and standing there in our underwear. I wasn't, it wasn't pretty, and so I could send you some video of that, although I'm not sure, I'm not sure it would.
